Ingredients
4oz butter,
4oz caster sugar
4oz self-raising flour
2oz cocoa powder
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp milk (see below)
Steps
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl
Add the eggs and beat until mixed
Sieve in the flour and cocoa powder
Add the vanilla essence and mix thoroughly
At this stage I found the mixture a little stiff so mixed in 2 tbsp milk, this is likely to depend on the size of your eggs
Grease a pudding bowl (mine has a diameter of 170mm)
Add the mixture into the bowl.
Place foil on top of the bowl and place in slow cooker.
Fill slow cooker half way with cold water and place a tea towel under the lid to prevent drips
Cook on HIGH for 4 hours
The pudding can then be loosened with a sharp knife before being turned out onto a plate
